There is no word that does not have a meaning even if the word is the WORD.

What is the "word"?

That is the right question. I asked it first tho? Wisdom dawns!

Try this in a different way.

Let's not worry so much about the answer to your question. Could you describe in what manner you would go about determining how correct or incorrect an answer is?

"When we landed on the moon, that was the point where god should have come up and said 'hello'. Because if you invent some creatures, put them on the blue one and they make it to the grey one, you f**king turn up and say 'well done'."

b. I did not know they were all Hindus - What is the Science behind this deduction. Same Father?

I did not say they were all Hindus. I said they all came from Hindu tradition.

Why are you making this a science question? Makes it look like a red herring. It is fairly standard scholarship that:1. Buddha was a Hindu2. Jainism grew out of Hinduism3. Nanak was exposed to both hindu an Islamic ideas and that is reflected in Sikhism.4. Krishna is integral to Hinduism, though probably wasn't real.

Because, again, a word only has the meaning and power that humans give it.

Rule 1: No pooftas. Rule 2: No maltreating the theists, IF, anyone is watching. Rule 3: No pooftas. Rule 4: I do not want to see anyone NOT drinking after light out. Rule 5: No pooftas. Rule 6: There is NO...rule 6.

Considering that you are suggesting that the "word" is not like any other word, yes, because it defies the definition of actual words.

Supernatural things do not exist. What evidence is there? I see none. It's just a word being metaphorically used for something else.

The thing that ticks me off, is that he is suggesting that there is such a thing as the "word" despite not knowing what it is, and despite the "word" not being a word at all.

He doesn't need to, you did it for him by calling it "supernatural", and not referencing it as such with a note of it being fiction. Now, in his mind atheists (all atheists, not just you) believe in the supernatural. You have to watch how you word things to people like him. Thus my comment.

That just confuses me further, because obviously none of us believe in the supernatural.

Irrelevant. It's not about what you believe or don't believe it's about what they believe or don't believe.

Ahh, i see.

So for all they could care, they could believe all atheists think that earth is flat, and would stick to it, despite the contrary being (mostly...) true?

That is exactly what I was thinking. Thanks. We are on the same page after all.

Since we do not know God we are all atheists. Only Theists know God. Belief runs everywhere in the atheists minds. Evidence by your statement " its not what you believe it is what they believe ". Atheists do not do beliefs but you seem to have promoted it. Clear up your act.

Who says atheists don't have beliefs? I have the belief you're an idiot which doesn't mean that my non-belief in a god or gods doesn't hold ground to that fact.

Beliefs are not a designation for only one set of people; whether that set of people (like you) believe it, or not.
